Conan the Barbarian

You'll not believe me, so you can feel free to check, but Conan, was written by Oliver Stone!
That's right. So already, you know, that this film, will be...ok..ish.

Starring the newly discovered Mr. Olympia and Universe, Arnold Schwarzenegger (yeh, I don't know who the fella is either) and Darth Vader (I mean James Earl Jones), we see the two giants of cinema pitted against each other as the hard done by, orphaned, slave turned gladiator bloke and the reformed, former genocidal warlord, now religious cult leader.

Ming the Merciless is in this flick too, that's right, Max 'the man' Von Sydow.

There's a great scene where Conan fights a giant snake...much better than Snakes on a Plane.

Budget: $20,000,000
Gross: $68,851,475

Not bad for a 'period' film, with a skimpily dressed Austrian wielding a large sword.
